CHANDLER — Chandler police have arrested three suspects accused of working together in a $1.6 million theft at Avnet electronics.
Video surveillance shows what took place during the theft, and that video will be available in about a day, Chandler police detective David Ramer said Wednesday.
One suspect shown on the tape remains at large. Police are still searching for the suspect, Ramer said. The other three suspects were captured.
Bobby Steve was arrested on Monday after being identified through surveillance, Ramer said.
The other two suspects are juveniles. Their complaints have been filed through the Maricopa County Juvenile Court, Ramer said.
The names of the two youths have not been released because of their ages.
Police have recovered $1.2 million worth of Avnet electronics, Ramer said.
